In the planning, design and fundraising phases for several years, rehab of the 70-year-old movie house on Main Street is about to get physical.

The State Theatre Foundation comes before the Town Architectural Review Board today for approval to begin the estimated $10 million rehab.

“We are getting very close,” said Chris Hamilton, chairman of the foundation’s building committee. “We are actually in negotiations with our contractor and when that is complete it won’t be long” before construction begins, he said.
